Pakistan condition right now😭😭 pray for them

It’s been more than a year Pakistan was devastated by Massive

flooding more than 1700 people died and

millions of homes were destroyed during

last Summer's inundation which covered

up to a third of the country at its peak

now a year later some parts of Pakistan

are still badly affected many people are

living in makeshift homes Financial

pledges from abroad have come up short

eight organizations estimate that up to

20 million people are still in need of

support the head of the UN has called

the floods the biggest example of

climate change

[Music]

and with me here in thit'

e studio is DW

reporter Bina Javed to give us some more

insight I mean you've been covering this

since the very beginning reflecting on

the floods one year later

how is the current situation right now

Pakistan is still sinking there are

areas in Pakistan that are still

underwater and authorities say that

floods of 2022 formed lakes that were so

huge that it would take years to

evaporate that water and no amount of no

technology or no Machinery can drain

that water and imagine that almost 2

million people are still living

alongside stagnant flood water and

because millions of Acres of

agricultural land was damaged floods of

2022 contributed in one of the worst

economic crisis Pakistan has seen in

years so when you put this into context

um what was the biggest effect would you

say what has had the biggest impact

um I think the floods are still

destroying lives there has been a recent

report that says that 40 percent of the

children in the flood affected areas

have stunted said growth young mothers

and women are becoming more fragile and

weak because they do not have access to

food and to health care and un says that

nearly 20 million people even now in

Pakistan need humanitarian assistance

but these are statistics that we know

it's really difficult to assess the

psychological impact the floods had on

people imagine women living under

Islamic Traditions inside their homes

all of a sudden they were on roads in in

camps with very little privacy with

thousands of schools damaged children

lost their support network so basically

Pakistan which is the sixth most

populous country and emits less than one

percent of global emissions but the

people of the country are still bearing

the brunt of the consequences of climate

change and how is the government

handling all of that because I mean as

you've mentioned there's there has

really been quite the Fallout how have

the authorities been picking up the

pieces or helping people to do so I

think Bob given of course cannot manage

this huge disaster Pakistan says that it

incurred losses of 30 billion US Dollars

it's asking for 16 billion US dollars to

rebuild Pakistan and to rebuild Pakistan

has to build climate resilient

infrastructure which is very expensive

so for one dollar of usual construction

Pakistan needs four dollar for

constructing climate resilient

infrastructure because Pakistan will

keep getting uh extreme weather events

the science scientific Studies have

proven that and that is one reason why

Pakistan pushed forward the loss and

damage for setting up of the loss and

damage Fund in cop 27 last year and as

the world is approaching towards Corp 28

Pakistan is asking that we finally

conference yeah the U.N climate

conference that some not a single

payment has been dispersed from the loss

and damage fund till now and Pakistan is

also asking and reminding the rich

countries of the pledges of 100 billion

dollars they may in cop 15 2000 in 2009

that they will start dispersing 100

billion dollars each year to poor

countries after 2020. that pledge has

also not been made and though 100

billion dollars sounds like a big figure

but Sarah that's quarter of what rich

countries pay to fossil fuel companies

each year so in other words so much work

to be done and Pakistan acknowledging

that it can't do it alone that it needs

International Partners to help DW
